The school has also produced a host of NFL personnel men, which could result in a head-coaching job for 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who graduated from John Carroll in 1994. Roman was teammates at JCU with a pair of leading NFL general-manager candidates: Falcons director of player personnel David Caldwell (’96) and Colts vice president of football operations Tom Telesco (’95).

Caldwell, who was college roommates with Roman, is one of two finalists for the Jaguars’ general-manager opening along with Cardinals director of player personnel Steve Keim, reported ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Kevin Acee of U-T San Diego is reporting Telesco is in the mix for the Chargers’ GM opening with San Diego’s director of player personnel Jimmy Raye. Keim and Giants director of college scouting Marc Ross are also reportedly interviewing with the Chargers today.

The Chargers recently fired head coach Norv Turner. The Jaguars have retained Mike Mularkey, but his job status is believed to be tenuous after Jacksonville’s 2-14 season.

Meanwhile, ESPN reported 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble turned down a second interview with the Jaguars to focus on the Jets’ general-manager opening. New York will reportedly retain coach Rex Ryan, meaning New York wouldn’t be a landing spot for Roman.

After this weekend, Roman – and the rest of San Francisco’s assistants – can’t interview until the 49ers’ season is over.
